This module introduces you to university life and the skills you need to do well academically, while at the same time exploring potential careers in the radio industry. You will also examine legal constraints on broadcasters, providing you with the knowledge to help protect you from legal action over broadcast material. You will be encouraged to take responsibility for your own progress.

There will be a mixture of lectures, workshops and tutorials, with some individual and some group work.
